Polymer-based organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) showing alignment-induced mobility enhancement and very small device-to-device variation have been fabricated. The active layer was a terrace-phase poly(2,5-bis(3-hexadecylthiophene-2-yl)thieno[3,2-b]thiophene) (pBTTT-C16) film aligned by a highly hydrophobic nano-grooved gate dielectric surface. Formation of a pBTTT-C16 film on such a highly hydrophobic surface by spin coating was allowed by patterning the surface properly with hydrophobic and hydrophilic areas. The charge transport anisotropy of about 5 and the alignment-induced mobility enhancement by a factor of about 2 were successfully achieved. The device-to-device variation was very small. Remarcably, the transfer characteristics of 30 OFETs were almost identical. The effect of the nano-grooves on the operational stability of the OFETs was also investigated.
